The Haflaah explains הכהן אשר יהי’ בימים ההם – שמואל בדורו כיפתח בדורו, go to the leader for the current generation. Shmuel was the leader for his generation as Yiftach for his generation. We cannot compare generations. Every generation is provided a leader according to its requirements. When Chanoch separated himself from the people, he was taken away. He would only hurt them through comparison.
